[Football] "So let's go to the excellent stadium that is Fratton Park"

[Tekanne]

9th place 4 points outside the play off........other teams winning hope they get relegated.

I'd hate for them to get promoted.

But, new owners, decent manager, decent squad. Didn't improve much in January though so could be their downfall

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'll honestly never forget that game. Pompey were pretty much relegated, we needed the points for play-offs and we were playing so badly, it looked like they might nick it. On 60mins on came Vicente, and it was as clear a match changing performance for 30mins as you could ever wish to see. Complete transformation of the game. For those 30mins, Vicente owned the pitch, the stadium, my heart even. He was majestic, almost ballet like in his movement and balance. He was the conductor of our orchestra, playing balls into the spaces he wanted our players to be. He had opposition players tackling shadows. He was some player. Not something I'll ever forget.



1min 33secs he goes passed someone without touching the ball...

Tremendous performance. Remind me again who we were playing - slipped my mind.....

They took 6000 to MK Dons, other teams don’t do that. Remind me how many we took?

I think every team takes that many. MK Dons do cheap deals and wasn't the coach cheap as well.

we could go there next season if peoples preference to win the cup and get relegated comes off,

What the poll where 55% want to stay up, ok then

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Shame he didn't have the foresight to get him to play in the playoffs.

While I don't have a lot of affection for PFC, I do have some affection for Fratton Park, I was after all born just around the corner at St Mary's Hospital. Fratton Park is one of the few remaining examples in use still today of the Scottish architect Archibald Leitch's work at the turn of the 20th century, and the South Stand is still a special place to watch a game if you have any appreciation of the architecture of football stands of this era. Unfortunately the pitch side appearance has been altered somewhat from the original with a gantry and such, but the terrace and seating and concourse underneath still retains some of the charm. Leitch worked on a whole host of football grounds from this period of swelling interest in football, including Old Trafford, Goodison, Craven Cottage, Ibrox, Villa Park, Hillsborough, The Dell, Bramall Lane, Highbury as well as many others.

The remark was aimed at the 45% voting to win the cup rather than stay up.
